Closing Brief

US equities closed moderately weak, sp -4pts @ 2126 (intra high 2132). The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled lower by -0.8% and -0.4% respectively. Near term outlook remains broadly bullish into the next FOMC of June 17th.

Summary

*a somewhat weak closing hour, but as ever... nothing of significance, merely a case of some cashing out ahead of the long 3 day weekend.
--

.. and another week comes to a close at the world's most rigged and twisted casino.

Without question, with another pair of new index highs - Dow/Sp'500, it was another week for the equity bulls. This is despite some distinct weakness in the 'old leader' - Trans. Understandably, it has received some considerable mainstream attention, but one index does not override the broader market.

Until the market is trading under the giant sp'2K threshold, I can't take ANY bearish talk seriously. It is merely the same top calling nonsense that we've seen the key breakout in summer 2013.

Have a good holiday weekend...
